Defence of Moscow Lyrics

[Verse 1]
As the Wehrmacht overrun, Russia 1941
They don't belong, we stand our ground, a million strong
We are ready for their strike, face the army of the Reich
A million strong, this is our land, they don't belong

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Hear Marshal Zhukov's, and Stalin's orders
Defend the motherland, Moscow shall not fall!

[Chorus]
Stand and follow command, our blood for the homeland
Heed the motherland's call, and brace for the storm
Moscow will never give in, there is no surrender
Force them into retreat, and into defeat

[Verse 2]
Facе the volleys of their guns, for Russia's daughtеrs and her sons
All the brave, who stand against the typhoon wave
From the mountains and the plains, come in thousands on the trains
Day and night, they're rolling in, to join the fight

[Pre-Chorus 2]
From Kazakhstan to Magadan
Call of the motherland, Russia shall prevail!

[Chorus]
Stand and follow command, our blood for the homeland
Heed the motherland's call, and brace for the storm
Moscow will never give in, there is no surrender
Force them into retreat, and into defeat

[Chorus]
Stand and follow command, our blood for the homeland
Heed the motherland's call, and brace for the storm
Moscow will never give in, there is no surrender
Force them into retreat, and into defeat

[Chorus]
Stand and follow command, our blood for the homeland
Heed the motherland's call, and brace for the storm
Moscow will never give in, there is no surrender
Force them into retreat, and into defeat

[Outro]
Stand and follow command, our blood for the homeland!

About

This song bio is unreviewed

Defence of Moscow is Sabaton’s second 2021 single. It tells the story of the Battle of Moscow, which took place in the Moscow Oblast of then-Russian SFSR, between October 1941 and January 1942. It is a cover of a song by the friend of the band, Radio TAPOK.

Moscow, being the capital of the USSR, was a vital political and military objective of Nazi Germany, and as such, both sides threw their best at the Kalinin Front.

In the end, the USSR prevailed, ultimately putting a halt to Operation Barbarossa, and starting its own counter-offensive.

It is also worth noting that for this desperate defensive operation, troops were called from the furthest reaches of the USSR. Not only the Siberian military district was mobilised, but the military divisions in the Far East were pulled to protect the Hero City of Moscow.
